Local Recurrence After Laparoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation of Liver Tumors: An Analysis of 1032 Tumors

Abstract: LR after RFA is predicted by certain tumor characteristics and technical factors. This information can be used intraoperatively to identify those tumors at a higher risk for failure.

“…34 Although RFA provided excellent local tumor control, %1 out of 3 patients developed some type of nonlocal recurrence each year, leading to a cumulative proportion of recurrence of almost 80% at 5 years. This figure is entirely consistent with the recurrence rates reported for RFA, other percutaneous ablative therapies, [10][11][12][16][17][18]33 and surgical resection of HCCs 3.0 cm. [14][15][16] These findings demonstrate that, regardless of how the first nodules are treated, recurrence and progression are the rule for HCC.…”

“…[1][2][3] As in previous studies, 6,[10][11][12][16][17][18] RFA of the initial HCC nodules produced CRs in over 98% of the cases, with a local recurrence rate of about 15%, even if the technique used was not performed to obtain safety margins. The latter requires multiple electrode insertions and overlapping thermal lesions 28 that are difficult to create even for skilled operators.…”
